A2 GOLD DRILLS 2.9 G/T GOLD OVER 20 METRES AT MCINTOSH ZONE

Deep Intercepts at McIntosh and Strategic Kinross Backing De-risk Resource Expansion Toward 2026 Update.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jan 13, 2026 · 08:15 AUAU · 0.9 A2 Gold Corp.
Executive Summary

The most recent release (January 13, 2026) reports significant drilling results from the McIntosh Zone at the Eastside Gold-Silver Project in Nevada. The flagship hole, ES-331, intercepted 2.9 g/t Au and 9.8 g/t Ag over 20 metres. Crucially, this hole extended known mineralization to a vertical depth of 480 metres, which is approximately 70 metres deeper than any previous drilling (2021 program). Additional intercepts in the same hole included 4.6 metres of 3.2 g/t Au. The company also announced the commencement of a substantial 18,000-metre Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program scheduled for January 19, 2026, aimed at infill and step-out drilling to support an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate in early 2026.

Material Impact

The impact is material and positive for three primary reasons: - Vertical Continuity: Extending the mineralized system 70 metres deeper confirms that the McIntosh Zone remains open at depth and suggests the presence of a larger feeder system. This directly supports the potential for a significant increase in the current 1.1 million-ounce gold resource at the Original Pit zone. - Strategic Validation: These results follow a $10.5 million financing led by Kinross Gold Corp. in September 2025. Kinross’s 9.9% stake and the successful "deep" drilling validate the technical thesis that Eastside has district-scale potential. - Program Scale: An 18,000-metre program is aggressive for a company of this market cap. It indicates the company is well-funded and confident in its targets following the property-wide geophysics program completed in late 2025. - Technical Execution: While ES-331 was a success, hole ES-337 deviated 70 metres from its target, showing that deep drilling in this terrain carries technical risks and increased costs.
